Day 3 of National Yearbook Week is HERE — and it’s time to take everyone behind the scenes! 

Challenge: Behind the Pages

Flipping through past yearbooks
- Show reactions to old photos, autographs, or favorite pages.

Hugging, holding, or posing with their favorite yearbook

• Capture emotional or silly moments — yearbooks as "treasured items."

Writing a quick note on what the yearbook means to them

Hold up signs or sticky notes: “My yearbook = my high school story” or “The only book that makes me laugh AND cry.”

Quick interviews with friends, teachers, or staff

What does the yearbook mean to you in one word?” or “Why do you buy the yearbook every year?”

It’s Day 4 of National Yearbook Week, and today we’re handing out some well-deserved recognition... with a twist! 

Challenge: Yearbook Staff Superlatives!

Celebrate your team’s quirks, talents, and inside jokes with yearbook-style awards — from silly to sincere!

For your older students, get creative with inside jokes and yearbook humor. Try awards like: Caption Queen/King or Best Excuse for Missing Deadlines. 

Present them in a fun way — video, slideshow, or award ceremony

Teachers & staff: capture students drawing, writing, or brainstorming their page ideas.Then, show off the final yearbook page they helped create!

Bonus: Create a simple slideshow showing the before-and-after transformation!
